The parade and rally, themed as "A Salute to the Lady Knights" Honoring the Lynwood Champions, have been scheduled for Saturday, May ~ 1, 2002 at 1 1:00 a.m. This theme was selected because it places special emphasis on the Girls Basketball Team for its tremendous achievement but can also incorporate other extraordinary achievers among Lynwood youth, as a mechanism for heightening spectator participation.
